A
It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
51. People with little education usually .
A. spend a long time in school
B. have a good chance to get a job
C. spend the best years to choose jobs
D. have fewer chances to get a good job
52. The earliest education was probably to .
A. make a man lead a better life
B. teach a man to write and think
C. make people get a way of living
D. teach people to read good books
53. The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “ ” in Chinese.
A. 圆满的 B. 崭新的 C. 公平的 D. 全面的
54. It is expected that educated people will be able to .
A. accept education as a way of living
B. take an interest in the whole world
C. develop their abilities to make plays
D. learn subjects like language and math
55. The passage mainly tells us that .
A. education should make a man improve
B. people can get education in a short time
C. people should be able to get better paying jobs
D. all subjects are so important for a way of living
B
Cause and effect is one way to explain things that happen around us. Many things happen because something caused or influenced them to happen. Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what causes the effect. It may help you to start with the effect and use your reasoning (推理的) skills. Think about all the things you know that could be reasons for the effect you can see.
For example, you may see someone putting on a heavy jacket. This is the effect. To look for a cause, think to yourself, “What would make someone put on a heavy jacket?” Maybe the person is going outside into very cold weather. Maybe the person works in the penguin pen (企鹅圈养地) at Sea World. Maybe the person is going to visit an ice skating rink where the air is kept very cold. All of these things could be a cause for putting on a heavy jacket.
Now, think about a second example. The effect is a boy named Abi has to go to the head teacher’s office. What are the possible causes? Maybe he bullied (欺负) another student. Maybe he is just being picked up early. Maybe he is being given a prize!
Here is another example for you to think about its cause and effect. Cait, 13, was trying to fall asleep when her 8-year-old brother, Doug, came into her room. He looked around a bit, but seemed really out of it. Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the hall light for quite a while. Little brothers can be very strange, but this was really much too strange. Cait didn’t know what to do. Just then, Cait’s father appeared and explained that Doug was sleepwalking. What’s the cause and effect, could you tell?
56. According to the second paragraph, which of the following is an effect?
A. Someone puts on a heavy jacket.
B. Someone works in the penguin pen.
C. Someone will go outside into cold weather.
D. Someone will go to visit an ice skating rink.
57. Abi has to go to the head teacher’s office. Which of the following isn’t the possible cause?
A. He bullied another student.
B. He is going shopping.
C. He is being picked up early.
D. He is being given a prize.
58. What was Doug doing when his sister Cait tried to fall asleep?
A. He was going outside.
B. He was reading a story.
C. He was sleepwalking.
D. He was looking for his dad.
59. Which of the following is cause and effect?
A. Tony got up and had a glass of water.
B. We came home and found him sleeping.
C. The ball was lost and a window was broken.
D. Tim was late again and his teacher got angry.
60. What is the best title for the text?
A. Truth and lies B. Work and sleep
C. Cause and effect D. Life and dreams

(2015•山东烟台)The story took place in a small town in winter. One day a man met an old lady standing by an expensive car. It was clear that her car broke down. So he stopped his old truck and got out. Although he was smiling, the old lady was worried. “Is he going to hurt me?” The man could see that she was frightened, so in his friendliest voice he said, “I’m here to help you, madam. Why don’t you wait in the car to get warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.” It took Bryan about fifty minutes to fix the car. The lady felt quite thankful and she asked how much she should pay him.
But Bryan wanted no money. ①对他来说，帮助别人很正常。He said, “If you want to repay me, next time you see someone in need, just give out your friendly hand.”
After saying goodbye, the lady continued down the road till she reached a small café. She stopped for something to eat. As the pretty waitress stood next to her, the lady noticed she was nearly eight months pregnant (怀孕). ②Although she looked tired, she still served the customers with a smile on her face. As the old lady was going to pay the $10 bill, she remembered Bryan’s words.
The old lady paid one hundred-dollar bill. But when the waitress returned with the change, the lady was gone. On the table she saw a small note. Her eyes were filled with tears when she read it, “Somebody once helped me the way I’m helping you. If you want to pay me back, continue being kind to others. ” Under the note were nine more $100 bills.
Was the old lady an angel? The waitress was so excited that she called her husband to tell the story.“Bryan…Bryan Anderson my dear…you’re not going to believe what has happened… ”

21. A 由“不要紧”可知“没有人可以让任何人都满意”。故选A。
22. B try to do sth. 意为“努力做某事”，是固定用法，故先排除C、D两项;由“但他们失败了”及“他们打了一架”可知“他们努力不生气”，故B项正确。
23. D be busy doing sth. 是固定用法，意为“忙于做某事”，故排除A、C两项;B项后少了介词for，故正确答案是D。句意为“我们都在忙着为即将到来的英语考试做准备”。
24. A 形容词修饰不定代词时，形容词要后置;肯定句中用something，否定句和疑问句中用anything，故选A。
25. C 本题考查“祈使句+or+陈述句”结构。or意为“否则，要不然”。故选C。
26. B be home to...是固定用法，意为“是……的家园”。
27. C until“直到……为止”;unless“除非”;though“尽管”;because“因为”。四个选项只有though放在句中才能使句意完整，符合结构要求。句意为“我喜欢乘火车旅行，尽管它不如乘飞机快”。故选C。
28. A according to“根据，依据”;look forward to“期望”;lead to“导致”;thanks to“多亏”。 根据句子前后的内容可知according to能使句意完整。句意为“根据这篇短文，那是一个激动人心的故事”。故选A。
29. B 表示“百分之……”要用“数词+percent”，percent没有复数形式。故选B。
30. C a number of…“许多……;大量……”，作主语时谓语动词用复数;the number of…“……的数量”，作主语时谓语动词用单数。故C项正确。
31. C 动词不定式短语作目的状语。
32.B 句意:为了使孩子远离危险，我们建议父母不要把孩子单独留在家里。advise sb. to do sth. “建议某人做某事”， advise sb. not to do sth. “建议某人不做某事”，均为固定搭配。结合句意应选B。
33. B offer to do sth. 意为“主动提出做某事”。
34. C try to do sth. 是固定用法。
35. B 在主动语态中，make后跟动词原形;在被动语态中，make后的动词原形前要加上to。故选B。
36. A conversation“交谈，谈话”;report“报告”;survey“调查”;speech“演讲”。由第三段中的this phone call changed his life(这次通话改变了他的人生)可知，此处应选A，表示“但最近和他妈妈的一次谈话改变了他的人生”。
37. D so“所以”;but“但是”;therefore“所以”;however“然而”，用于句首时，与句子的其他部分要用逗号隔开。由“他过去不常给他妈妈添麻烦”和空格后面的叙述，特别是第二段的Unfortunately, Martin still caused problems. 可知，此处应表示转折关系，再由空格后的逗号可知应选D项。
38. C 空格后的more difficult是形容词的比较级，而选项A和D用于修饰形容词或副词原级;选项B是形容词，修饰名词复数;much可修饰比较级，表示程度，故选C。

40. C look after“照顾，照料”，是动词短语，应用副词修饰，故排除D项;A、B两项意思不符合语境。well是副词，意为“好，好地”，符合语境“他的妈妈尽可能好地照顾他”。

45. C to one’s surprise 是固定搭配，意为“令某人吃惊的是”，此处surprise用作名词，意为“惊讶，惊奇”。
46. B 分析该句结构可知，空格处在此引导一个表语从句，且在从句中作needed的宾语，what有此双重功能，故选B。which可以引导表语从句，但意为“哪一个”，表示有范围的选择;that可以引导表语从句，但在从句中不作任何成分;how也可以引导表语从句，但只能在从句中作状语。
47. D see“看见”，强调看见的结果;notice“注意”，指注意到某事或某物，强调动作;help“帮助”;watch“注视”，强调状态。分析上下文可知，爸爸虽然不再与我们在一起了，但他一直在注视着我，强调的是一种持续的状态，故选D。
48. A since“自……以来”;before“在……之前”;after“在……之后”;when“当……的时候”。由my father died, I have been afraid of being alone…可知，此处符合“since+一般过去时态的从句，主句用完成时态”这一句型特点，故选A。
49. C always“总是，一直”;hardly“几乎不”;really“确实”;just“仅仅”。由下文的He has been working hard and is now one of the best students in his class. 可知，马丁确实发生了变化，故选C。
50. B advice“建议”;love“爱”;idea“主意”;decision“决定”。通读全文可知，是妈妈的爱使他改变了，故选B。

52. C 根据文章第二段第一、二句话“Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. (有些人也许认为一个人应该把他一生中最好的岁月用来获取教育，只是为了一种生存的方式。这可能是最早的教育的原因之一。)”可推知此题选C。
53. D 该单词所在的句子是第三段的主题句，而该单词是该主题句的关键词。由本段的内容可知，教育的目的是从各个方面提高人的素质，由此可推知该单词的意思是“全面的”，故选D。
54. B 根据文章第三段的最后一句话“Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world. ”可知，受教育的人被认为能够听好音乐、读好书、观看戏曲，而最重要的是对世界感兴趣，故选B。其他选项都片面。
55. A 根据文章第三段的第一句话“Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. ”可知，教育是全面的，它主要是为了提高人的整体素质。故选A。
56. A 由第二段中For example, you may see someone putting on a heavy jacket. This is the effect. (例如，你可以看到有人穿上厚的夹克。这是结果。)可知，“有人穿上厚的夹克”是结果。
57. B 由第三段中What are the possible causes? Maybe he bullied another student. Maybe he is just being picked up early. Maybe he is being given a prize! 可知，A项“他欺负别的学生”;C项“他被提前接走”;D项“他获了奖”，这三项都可能是Abi去校长室的原因。只有B项“他去购物”在文中没有提及，不可能是原因。故选B。
58. C 由最后一段中Cait, 13, was trying to fall asleep when her 8-year-old brother, Doug...Cait’s father appeared and explained that Doug was sleepwalking. 可知，当Cait要睡觉时，她的弟弟在梦游。
59. D 本题为推理判断题。根据文章所述，D项中，Tim再次迟到是原因，他老师生气是结果。而其他三项都没有因果关系。
60. C A项“事实和谎言”;B项“工作与睡眠”;C项“原因和结果”;D项“生活和梦想”。通读全文可知，本文以实例的形式阐述了原因和结果的辩证关系。故选C。
61.No, she didn’t. Because she thought the man would/was going to hurt her. 由第一段中的Although he was smiling, the old lady was worried. “Is he going to hurt me?”可知，这位老妇人起初并不信任Bryan,因为她认为Bryan会伤害她。
62.It was very normal for him to help others. 用It’s+形容词+for sb. to do sth.表达“对某人来说做某事是……的”。
63.虽然她看上去很疲倦，但是她还是微笑着为顾客服务。 although引导让步状语从句，意为“尽管，虽然”;look tired 意为“看起来很疲惫”;serve the customers意为“为顾客服务”;with a smile on her face意为“她面带微笑”。
64. a(small)note，nine (more) 100-dollar bills(under the note) 由第五段内容可知，当女服务员带着找回的零钱返回时，她发现在桌子上有一张小纸条和九张100美元的钞票。
65.Love/Kindness needs to be passed on./We should give out friendly hands to others. 通过这个故事我们明白了“爱需要不断传递下去/我们应该向别人伸出友爱之手”。
